Many teachers think that primary learning is guzheng. Intermediate learning guzheng can use the "Yuan Sha Guzheng Teaching book" book, and advanced guzheng study can use the "Guzheng Test Repertoire and Guidance" book. The reason is that "Happy learning guzheng" is more interesting than "Yuan Sha", beginners are easier to understand; "Yuan Sha Guzheng" is more professional than "Happy learning Guzheng"; "Guzheng grading repertoire" is more difficult, so it is suitable for advanced guzheng learning use. Chaozhou guzheng teachers choose guzheng materials because the materials are suitable for students, have comprehensive content, are easy to understand, have interesting content, and are suitable for modern teaching. </p> Cai Sishou, Chutasiri Yodwised Copyright (c) 2023 Asia Pacific Journal of Religions and Cultures https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0 https://so06.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/ajrc/article/view/265752 Sun, 10 Dec 2023 00:00:00 +0700 THE INFLUENCE OF TEACHERS' PROFESSIONAL IDENTITY ON THE STABILITY OF THE FACULTY IN CHINESE PRIVATE UNIVERSITIES https://so06.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/ajrc/article/view/263250 <p>The research topic “The Influence of Teachers' Professional Identity on The Stability of The Faculty in Chinese Private Universities” aimed to study (1) To explore the factors influencing the stability of the faculty in general private universities.

The offender may not intend to commit an offense. Sometimes, some causes may be necessary to make the offense complete with all elements of the offense and that action has no cause except for the offense. It is considered a criminal offense to be held criminally liable. However, there is a reason that the offender is not subject to criminal penalties. Exemptions under French criminal law, priority on personal grounds, and grounds of impunity under German criminal law emphasize the importance of individual exemptions, exemptions under British criminal law. Adhere to the principle of offense because the offender has the power to act, Thai criminal law, the Criminal Code has provided for the exemption of punishment for the offender by considering both the sense of responsibility of the offender and other reasons that the law provides for exemption from punishment. For example, the exemption from punishment under Section 65, Section 66, and Section 70, which in religion has an exemption in the Dhamma discipline called Ānāpattivār (A monk who is not guilty). Punishment of the 4 Pārājikas of the last 4 items of every precept considered as the main basis for judging a monk who has committed an offense, it is the cause of exemption from punishment, namely: 1) A monk who is insane, 2) A monk whose mind is distracted, 3) A monk who is restless because of his feelings but not insane to study and compare the grounds for exemption in criminal cases with the grounds for exemption from punishment in the Buddhist Doctrine and Discipline which will lead to the development of law and Buddhist discipline in the future.</p> phrateerasak wongkhueakhan Copyright (c) 2023 Asia Pacific Journal of Religions and Cultures https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0 https://so06.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/ajrc/article/view/267048 Sun, 10 Dec 2023 00:00:00 +0700 CONSTRUCTING THE DRUM SET GUIDEBOOK FOR TEACHING CHILDREN AT DONGGUAN POLYA FOREIGN LANGUAGE SCHOOL IN CHINA https://so06.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/ajrc/article/view/264476 <p>These research objectives were (1) to Study drum teaching for the first grade of primary school at Dongguan Polya Foreign Language School; (2) To Create a Guidebook for drum teaching for the first grade of primary school at Dongguan Polya Foreign Language School.

They instead focused on achieving enlightenment a state of inner peace and wisdom. When followers reached this spiritual echelon, they were said to have experienced nirvana. The religion's founder, Buddha, has been considered an extraordinary being, not a god. The word Buddha meant “enlightened.” The path to enlightenment was attained by utilizing morality, meditation, and wisdom. Buddhists often meditated because they believed it helped awaken truth. There were many philosophies and interpretations within Buddhism, making it a tolerant and evolving religion. Some scholars didn't recognize Buddhism as an organized religion, but rather, as a “way of life” or a “spiritual tradition.” Buddhism encouraged its people to avoid self-indulgence and self-denial. Buddha's most important teachings, The Four Noble Truths, were essential to understanding the religion. The Buddhists embraced the concepts of karma (the law of cause and effect) and reincarnation (the continuous cycle of rebirth). Followers of Buddhism could worship in temples or their own homes. Buddhist monks, or bhikkhus, followed a strict code of conduct, which included celibacy. There was no single Buddhist symbol, but several images had evolved that represent Buddhist beliefs, including the lotus flower, the eight-spoked dharma wheel, the Bodhi tree, and the swastika (an ancient symbol whose name meant “well-being” or “good fortune” in Sanskrit).</p> Deepak Kumar Copyright (c) 2023 Asia Pacific Journal of Religions and Cultures https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0 https://so06.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/ajrc/article/view/263214 Sun, 10 Dec 2023 00:00:00 +0700 THE STUDYING PEDAGOGY FOR DEVELOPING STUDENT SINGING A T COLLEGE OF MUSIC, GUI ZHOU NORMAL UNIVERSITY https://so06.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/ajrc/article/view/264992 <p>The research topic is “The Studying of Pedagogy for Developing Student Singing at College of Music, Gui Zhou Normal University” The objectives of this study are fourfold: (1) To study the pedagogy for singing.

Multilingualism and language contact have likely been common throughout much of human history, and today most people in the world are multilingual. In tribal hunter-gatherer societies, multilingualism was common, as tribes must communicate with neighboring peoples and there was often intermarriage. In present-day areas such as Sub-Saharan Africa, where there was much variation in language over short distances, it was usual for anyone who had dealings outside their own town or village to know two or more languages. When speakers of different languages interacted closely. It is typical for their languages to influence each other. Languages normally developed by gradually accumulating dialectal differences until two dialects ceased to be mutually understandable, somewhat analogous to the species barrier in biology. Language contact could occur at language borders, between ad stratum languages, or as the result of migration, with a “disturbing” language acting as either a superstratum or a sub-stratum. Language contact occurs in a variety of phenomena, including language convergence and borrowing. The most common products were code-switching and mixed languages. Other hybrid languages, such as English, did not strictly fit into any of these categories.</p> Deepak Kumar Copyright (c) 2023 Asia Pacific Journal of Religions and Cultures https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0 https://so06.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/ajrc/article/view/263216 Sun, 10 Dec 2023 00:00:00 +0700
